BajaNomad - Tropical Storm Odile

Tropical Storm Odile

Is fast on the heels of Norbert! Odile is currently hugging the southern coastline of mainland Mexico & appears to stand a very good chance of coming across Baja or up the Sea of Cortez if it follows the warmest waters. Heads up!

Well, it looks like Norbert is getting his booty kicked... besides, with a name like Norbert, well, you know

Well girls,
Norbert seemed to be petering out, which Odile, being peterless, can't match. :no:

I'll be here....if Norbert doesn't sweep me away! But I can't guarantee there'll be a dancing nymph at Balandra! :lol:

swell is already picking up here and many pangas got beached today and the rest will follow after lobster fishing tomorrow...lobster pickins get better after a big swell.....guys were moving their traps today into deeper water.

After all that effort of hauling their traps out to the grounds just a few days ago for the start of the season, the pangas passing by here today were loaded to capacity as they brought them all back to the beach.

I don't think I've ever seen them bring the traps back in for a storm before (although you sure find a bunch on the beach afterwards when they leave them out).

Thought this was the Odile thread ....

Back on track .....

It appears Odile is taking a hard left west and is heading for sure death in the Pacific ...

ah yes...but we will still get a swell...which is the important part!
By the way...all the lobster fishermen are completely enjoying lying in bed this morning with their viejas! These guys only get 5 days off in 5 months so today is a bonus day!

Just the occasional sprinkle here in Nopolo,4 miles s.of Loreto and winds still calm.
Looks like the eye will hit around 50 or so miles south of Mag Bay and if it stays on this course, Loreto may miss the brunt of it.

Oh well, done worse.

Those National Hurricane Center guys don't have a sense of humor :bounce:

The following quote is from the 2 PM Odile update.

"ODILE...THE TROPICAL CYCLONE...HAS REALLY FOOLED ME AS ODILE...THE EVIL CHARACTER IN THE BALLET SWAN LAKE...FOOLED THE PRINCE."

What I don't get is why the NHC puts the discussions available in Spanish when it hits the US coast, but not when it hits the Mexican coast... :?:
